School is really getting in the way of my reading and reviewing. Who needs an education anyway? Onto the good stuff! The Firey Heart is the 4th book in Richelle Meade’s Bloodlines series, which is a spin-off from the 6-book Vampire Academy series. I’ve been reading these since the first VA book came out about seven years ago, and I’ll be dammed if I stop reading them now. I have a horrible compulsion to see these things through, no matter how terrible the series gets. I have […]
The Secret History – The ‘Girls’ of Novels
I should start by saying I hated this book and the only reason I finished it was so I could write a review and not feel guilty for leaving it unread and looking up the ending on Wikipeadia. Basically I did it for you, Cannonballers. All for you. To me, this book was a literary equivalent of the HBO show Girls. Annoying, pretentious, holier-than-thou, and self-centered.

This book invaded my dreams and was the first thing I thought about when I woke up this morning. This book ruined me. I wish I could sit here and give you a […]
The Restless Sleep – A History of the Cold Case Squad
I don’t know where my fascination for cold cases and police work came from. I once spent an entire Memorial Day weekend when I was 14 or so watching a
The Impossible Knife of Memory
Laurie Halse Anderson is probably the reason I became an adult YA fiction lover. I took a class in YA Lit in college and her book,
The Raven Boys – Solid paranormal YA.
Full disclosure: I love YA. If I manage to make it through this year and challenge, I’m willing to bet that the majority of my reviews will fall into that category. No shame! The Raven Boys has been on my list of books to read for quite some time. I finally got a copy and, at first, wasn’t sure what to make of it. It jumped around between three or four characters a lot in the first few chapters, but once it finished the set […]
